Frank was a little brighter today. He'd had a good nights sleep and was ready to greet the family at visiting time which was just as well as his cousin popped in tonight. This was a surprise for him as he wasn't aware that she was travelling from Staffordshire especially to see him. His sense of humour returned which was needed when Christopher told him he'd sold both Frank's vehicles plus the caravan to buy himself a new motorbike!
Frank's still hooked up to the machines which are monitoring his heart and oxygen levels. He's got a sensor clipped to his finger which monitors his pulse rate but he keeps waving his hand and arm around and unclipping the sensor which in turn activates the alarms and brings the nurse running over to him. He's realised that he has to reclip the sensor to his finger straight away in order to turn the alarm off. It was suggested today that if he keeps playing with the sensor, it will soon be attached to another part of his anatomy - his nose!
The Doctors seem to be concentrating on improving his strength through his diet and sleep as both have been lacking over the last four weeks. Now he's able to eat more and as his strength and energy levels rise then he also needs good quality sleep. These combined will assist his recovery.
